Hare Krishna! Without the blessing of Sri Kalinga Narthana Perumal, nobody can write or speak about his divine self. For the past thousand years my forefathers have been dedicatedly offering pooja to Sri Kalinga Narthana Perumal. I am deeply indebted to my forefathers, without whom I would not have got the divine opportunity of performing pooja to Sri Kalinga Narthana Perumal. Mere words of thanks giving does not suffice for getting this divine opportunity. Hence at the behest of my Guru and with the blessing of Sri Kalinga Narthana Perumal, I dedicate my entire life with humility, to speak about the true history of Sri Kalinga Narthana Perumal Temple and also the divine miracles enacted by the Lord at this Holy place. I very well know that I alone cannot fulfill the divine will of the Lord. For this, I also need the help of all the blessed devotees of Sri Kalinga Narthana Perumal. Sri Kalinga Narthana Perumal has chosen me as His humble servant and messanger which is guiding me to pacify the devotees who come to the temple. Being Krishna Dasan, His humble servant, has made it possible for me to find solution to some of the queries of the devotees, which has been continuing for quite some time. This inspired me to ponder over the true karma of my life. With the blessing of Lord, I realize that whatever I am doing now does not fulfill the job that God has given me to serve His blessed devotees. It has finally dawned to my mind that the true essence of my life is to spread the true history of Sri Kalinga Narthna Perumal temple, the divine miracles enacted by the Lord at this holy place and last but not the least the life history of Sri Venkata Subba Iyer and various songs composed and sung by him in praise of the Lord. Perhaps, this might be due to my sincere prayer to the Lord everyday to make it a reality to share the above mentioned facts with the blessed devotees of the Lord. I know realize that it is His divine will not to let the above mentioned true facts to be curtailed to the knowledge of my ancestors alone. It is my sincere prayer towards the Lord to spend not only this life, but also every birth that I might take after this as flowers offered to the Lotus feet of Sri Kaslinga Narthana Perumal or as dust clinging to the blessed feet of His true devotees or as small saplings growing near the premises of this Bhooloka Vaikundam. It might be this thought that would have inspired Venkata Subba Iyer to compose the famous song, “Pullayi piravi thara vendum………”, that dwells upon the divine thoughts of a true devotee.
By the divine blessing of Sri Kalinga Narthana Perumal, after so many years of patient waiting, the God has finally given His consent to start the renovation work of this temple. As His humble servant, I am indeed blessed to play a role to the progress of the renovation work. It is further my humble desire to offer prayers , pooja , abhishekom and bhajans to Sri Kalinga Narthana Perumal in the same way as my forefathers used to conduct the Rohini Nakshatra pooja (birth star of Sri Krishna) once in every month. Moreover, I would also like to take part in the Sri Krishna Jayanthi festival with hordes of His sincere devotees by conducting akhand bhajans, pooja, abhishekom, homam, annadhanam, without splundering money and by garlanding the Lord throughout the day with carnatic music performed by famous musicians via vocal and using various percussion instruments. I also would like to construct a magnificient Brindavan as a tribute to Maha Kavi Venkata Subba Iyer and also to conduct Annadhanam and bhajans with great pomp and glory. By the blessing of the Lord and with the help of His sincere devotees I am sure that all these wishes will be fulfilled.
With the blessings of the Lord, our clan has been witnessing various miracles of the Lord enacted at this temple. I request all of you to humbly spread this divine play enected at Oothukkadu temple to every nook and corner of this world and hence attain salvation, redeeming from samsara sagara.
Last but not the least,I thank both Mr.and Mrs.Ganapathy for having hosted this website.
